Title of Your Paper in Upper and Lower Case (Centered, Bold)
Type your introduction here and remove the instructions. Although the first paragraph
after the paper title is the introduction, no heading labeled “Introduction” is used. Provide an
overview of the concept of population vulnerability and specifically identify a vulnerable
population you will examine. Be sure to identify the sections of the paper and provide a
minimum of one scholarly support.
Concept Map Overview
Describe the vulnerable population explaining a minimum of three variables placing the
population at risk. Describe one population health risk or disparity experienced by the
population and discuss the interrelationships between all the elements portrayed on the concept
map. Be sure to provide citations to support your thoughts.
Implications for Advanced Nursing Practice
Propose one strategy for the MSN-prepared nurse to advocate for this vulnerable
population at the local, state, or national level – be sure to specify the level. Explain how the
proposed strategy aligns with the national population health goal or objective related to the
identified risk or disparity such as one of the Healthy People 2030 initiatives.
Recommendation
Identify one priority population health risk or disparity – validate with evidence from the
population assessment. Recommend one population-focused solution to address the risk or
disparity. Use scholarly sources to support the information.
Conclusion
3
Provide a summary providing detail regarding the the relationships between the risk
factors and vulnerability and the role of MSN-prepared nurses in advocating for vulnerable
populations.

NR518 Module 4: Part I: Vulnerable Population Concept Map and
Summary (graded)
Due: July 27th
Start Assignment
Purpose
The purpose of this assignment is to analyze a vulnerable population within a selected community to identify health risks
and disparities. Variables influencing the risk and disparity experienced by members of the vulnerable group will be
identified, and correlation with national directives to address population health issues will be determined. A concept map
will be created to portray the relationships between these elements. Implications for advanced nursing practice and
opportunities to advocate for the health of the vulnerable population will be presented.
A printed version of these assignment guidelines as well as a video overview are available below.
Please note, this assignment has two separate parts, the concept map and the written paper.

Total Points Possible: 150 Points
Assignment Overview
Identify one vulnerable population within a selected community. Explore current literature and related data to better
understand the variables that place this population at risk for health concerns and health disparities. Analyze national
health directives (such as Healthy People or another national initiative) to determine correlation with
needs/risks/disparities of the vulnerable population.
Part 1: Concept Map
1. Identify the following elements to include in the concept map.
a. Vulnerable population
b. Variables (risk factors) that place the identified population at risk (minimum of three)
c. Minimum of one health risk or disparity for which the population is at risk
2. Create a concept map that portrays each element and the relationships between the vulnerable population, variables
placing the population at risk, and the identified health risk or disparity for which the population is susceptible. The
concept map must be your own, original work.
Assignment Instructions
1. Abide by the Chamberlain College of Nursing Academic Integrity Policy.
2. Part I: Concept Map—create and submit a concept map as a pdf or a Microsoft Word document.
a. Concept map may be either:
i.neatly drawn by hand and submitted as a pdf; or
ii.created using Microsoft Word.
b. Concept map must be clear and legible.
c. Concept map must be the student’s original work.
d. Concept map must include the student’s name and date.
